What is an X-Ray?

X-Ray imaging uses ionizing radiation to create images of internal structures. Modern digital X-Ray captures high-quality images at low radiation doses and is extremely fast, making it ideal for emergency and routine diagnostic use.

Common X-Ray Exams

• Chest X-Ray - evaluate the lungs, heart, and chest wall; used to detect pneumonia, heart failure, or lung nodules.
• Musculoskeletal (Skeletal) X-Ray - assess bones and joints for fractures, dislocations, degenerative changes (arthritis), or bone tumors.
• Spine Imaging (Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar) - visualize the vertebrae to diagnose alignment issues, disc degeneration, or spinal trauma.
• Abdominal X-Ray (KUB) - examine the kidneys, ureters, and bladder; often used to detect kidney stones or intestinal obstructions.
• Pelvic & Hip Imaging - evaluate hip joint integrity, pelvic fractures, or pre-operative planning for joint replacement.
• Sinus & Skull X-Ray - assess for sinusitis, facial fractures, or abnormalities in the cranial structure.
• Soft Tissue X-Ray - identify foreign bodies (such as glass or metal) or unusual swelling in the extremities.
• Pediatric X-Ray - specialized low-dose imaging tailored for children, including scoliosis series and bone age studies.

Patient Preparation

• Remove jewelry, watches, or metal objects near the area to be imaged.
• Pregnancy: inform the technologist if you are pregnant or suspect pregnancy.
• No fasting is typically required.
